The National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA) is the worldwide leader in advocacy skills training. NITA brings its forty years of educational leadership to bear in this specialized program for family law practitioners.
Participants work in groups of six or eight in a simulated courtroom environment. Students take an active role in their learning by honing their trial skills through performance and constructive feedback from instructors. Lectures and demonstrations are kept to a minimum as everyone learns through hands-on experience. Many exercises are recorded and reviewd in one-on-one session with an instructor. A special expert in communications and theater techniques counsels each participant in a private half-hour session.
Law schools and other CLE providers have adopted NITA teaching methods for their own programs. At the Family Law Trial Advocacy Institute, you experience the cutting-edge of advocacy teaching from those who developed the process. The program, and its faculty, demand a lot from each participant. It is intensive, fast-paced, and literally provides years of experience.
